The two teams have a handful of players that can be the PTBNL and depending on how the main player involved performs or how many appearances they make determines the return. So for example, if Justin Wilson makes 25-30 number of appearances this year, they get player A, and if he makes 25 or fewer appearances they get player B. Something like that.

Can anyone help me understand how the teams come a decision of which player it will be or if it’s cash? Do they make side deals like “if prospect A continues to do this we’ll take him or if not – cash?” Or does the receiving team just keep asking for a specific player and it’s up to the sending team to say yeah or nay?
